Gallery2Export iPhoto Plugin for Intel Macs
I was tooling around looking for a Gallery2 export plugin for iPhoto to make it easy for my Dad to upload pictures of his new restaurant, Stella’s Restaurant and Bar, to his website. I found a couple examples, but none of them had been compiled for Intel Macs. Luckily the source is available for Gallery2Export, so I just downloaded it and compiled it with XCode. I’ve done this with a few other FOSS packages lately in order to make Intel-native versions, and generally have met with excellent success.
Here’s the file if you’re interested.

I get errors on my MacBook Pro when I open up the Export dialog:
2006-04-02 21:28:57.219 iPhoto[750] Not a valid plugin: /Applications/iPhoto.app/Contents/PlugIns/Gallery2Export.iPhotoExporter
[this was in the Console.]
I am running iPhoto 6.0.2 (287) on OS X 10.4.5 build 8H1455.
Email me if you have any thoughts…
I add the plugin to iPhoto, but it won’t show up under the export window :/ Running macbook pro. Help appriciated
I added the plugin to iPhoto fine, but nothing shows when i try and export a photo. what gives?
I’m having problems getting this to show up. I put it in my plugins for iPhoto, but then it doesn’t show up when I go to export out….
Once I’ve installed the plug-in I don’t see it in Export either.
OS 10.4.7, iPhoto 6.0.4
For those of you that can’t get the plugin to showup in iPhoto… Do this…
Browse to /Applications
Right click on iPhoto
Choose “Show Package Contents”
Double click the “Contents” folder
Double click the “Plugins” folder
Scroll down until you find the “Gallery2Export.iPhotoExporter.plugin” icon
Right click on said icon
Choose “Get Info”
In the “Name & Extension” field, remove the ‘.plugin’ extension, leaving the rest of the name intact
Close the “Get Info” window
Accept the question about changing the name
Open iPhoto
Click File -> Export -> Gallery2
Disclaimer: This worked on my 20″ iMac (Intel). No promises you will see the same results as I did.
After doing Halh’s wonderful fix I got this to work! Wow!
Comments were also exported which was lovely!
Hope the author will make the fix permanent so others don’t have to mess around…
Hi, I try to do what is described by Halh but get stuck at “right click on iPhoto”.
What I do is;
- Open finder
- Go to applications
- Put pointer on iphoto and right click
then nothing happens…
I can do file info but it will not give the option “show package contents”.
What step/action did I miss???

Intel iMac 20″, 10.4.8, 2GB, iPhoto 6.0.5 (316)
hmm, just dont works with iphoto 6.05. does nothing while exporting
macbook, 10.4.8, 512mb, iPhoto 6.0.5
I am running 6.0.5 and tried both with the .plugin and without and it does not seem to show up on either – Such a shame – This was one of my favorite additions to iphoto / gallery … Please advise if anyone fixes.
Same as with Jake – will just not show up. too bad.
Any help appreciated. Using 6.0.5 on a MacBook Pro…
What I want to do on my blog, is every few hours take the oldest post and move it to the
front of the queue, all automatically. Anyone know if there is a plugin that can do this or
a simple way to set up another plugin to do this (use my own feed perhaps)?
Thanks.
I’m using the plugin with iPhoto 6.0.5 on an Intel iMac running Tiger.
When I try to export using http://fanboyandgothgirl.com/public_html/gallery2/gallery2/, I get:
HTTP Error 406: unacceptable (code 406)
If I try http://fanboyandgothgirl.com/gallery2/gallery2/, I get the same thing.
If I try http://fanboyandgothgirl.com/g2data/, the system pauses, as if trying to upload, and then I get:
I cannot Gallery2 remote under the URL you specified. Please make sure you entered the base URL for your gallery (where the album list appears), and that it ends with a slash (/) or with /index.php. (code 404)
Any thoughts would be much appreciated!
I am having the same problem as barry – any ideas?
I’ve installed the iPhoto Exporter plugin ( Version 0.2.1-nhod-intel ) and am able to see the Gallery albums but in the middle of uploading I get the error:
HTTP Error 500: internal server error (code 500)
My console log file shows:

2007-03-04 18:25:29.123 iPhoto[3903] HTTP status code: 500, response string: internal server error
The odd thing is that I can upload fine from the standalone application “Gallery Remote”. I use the same URL, name, password and everything just works with that. I want to go directly from iPhoto however and am perplexed on the server error.
Any help you can provide would be appreciated!
THANKS – this fixed my problem on my Mac Book Pro – You are a star – where is your donation link?
Hi! Does this work on iPhoto 09? I can’t get it to work, with or without the ‘.plugin’ extension. Thanks!
